It may be unnecessary, perhaps, fur uie to say much by wav of apology or explanation of my reasons fur addressing you at this time and in this way. The numerous calls that have been made up on me by personal and political friends, in primaiy meetings of ibe people and otherwise, to allow my name to go be fore the Disirict again for re-election to Congress without the formality of a reg ular nomination, requires a responce.— This should have been made earlier,and would have been, but for matters, of a personal nature that prevented, and which in no way concerns the pub lic. To reply, however, to each separate ly, v ould take considerable time,and de volve upon ir.e a great deal of useless la hot; while to select one in preference to others, might be deemed invidious. I, therefore, take this method of answer ing all toge'her, and at the same time saying brieflv, not only to those who have thus manifested iheir wishes in tins particular, but to the voters of the Dis trict generally, Mint if it is the '.'ill am! j li-HStire of the people that l shall serve ilteiii again in tlie national councils, 1 have no sufficient reason consistent with inv sense of duty to the country and tnv * idijjaiu n> to them, to just fv me ;u rsiusti.g—particulMly at this junc ture. I feci profound;v sensible ot the -i^nal marks of confidence repeatedly ;howc towards me by the people this Ihsliict. The present may not bean iinpu’per occ-asion to make some allusion to them and the past relations between us of Representative and constituents. During the whole time 1 have repre sented the district, the honor has been conferred without anv party nomination — this is tinusally in out day—and the honor, on that account, has been the more highly appreciated by me. It lias caused me, if possible to feel more sen sibly the weight of the responsibility resting upon me, to watch over, look af ter, guard and protect equally the rights and interests of all. How far I succee ded in meeting their expectations iu the discharge of the great trusts thus con fidingly placed in my hands, they must judge for themselves. Hut it is quite a gratification to me to know that since ! have been so chosen, not a single vote or act of mine, as their representative, was ever subject of complaint at the time,as far ao 1 am aware of, by a single man of any party in the district. All ap- pioved at the time it was done of every thing 1 did as their representative. At least nothing was heard to the contrary —no censure was made, no disapproba tion ever was expressed. Party and national questions of the greatest ntag nitude and most exciting character were acted on during the time. At the first session of that term of service, the Kan sas bill, which is still the topic of so much discussion, was brought forwar is now generally admitted, In fact, the main argument last year was not so muck to show that any such principle was re ally in the bill, as to prove that such was the northern construction of if. It was strenously contended that Mr. Buch anan had put that construction upon it in his letter of acceptance. But by hi? inaugural even that ground ofcompiaiut' (altogether imaginary and substantial as it was.) was removed. This is now also openly acknowledgtd; and a very im portant acknowledgement it is; for the last vestige of that pretext for opposition or objection vanishes. It is a mat let to be noted and remembered that the War- reuton Convention, of the Gill insL, that nominated my honorable competitor ex pressly state and proplain: *\Ve confess then, our supprise, when his (Mr. Buchanan's) inaugural-address denounced squatter sovereignty; and the edge of our opposition to his administra tion was blunted by the apparent bold ness and honesty of bis sentiments.’ This is an honest and timely confess ion. It is a complete answer to most of the arguments of their oratots and news papers last year. Buchanan’s ‘squatter sovereignty’ principles was then (ho*p- tde of their speeches and editorials; it was the burthen of their song, ‘thelliiad of tin ir woes.’ It was this phautom that caused some in their maddened rage to say that the bill, with this construction was worse for Hie Sou:li than the Wil- mut P.oviso itself. Most blinding, in deed, must have been tiiat rage which could have caused anybody to ».e that -uu Hiitig could have been worse for the -viiiHi that; that positive absolute, and ni'ipetual prohibition against slavery in the Terri’ory, put on in 1820, aud which he Kansas bill removed. But such things had witnessed and perhaps stranger ones are in store for us yet. It is not much however, \<ith the past as with the present, aud lliefulnre we have to deal. The past it L true fre quently throws light upon the future, and for this reason it is not lo be neglec ted or forgotten. I need not assure you that I was for the bill in the beginning aud am for it yet, and shall stand by jt to the last, notwithstanding the new ‘fire in the rear,’ as well as the old one ’in the frorr.’ From late indications the next Con gress will have before it deeply interes ting, if not unusally excit’ng questions — not less so than those liefore the last. In tho elections for the Inst Congress the repeal of the Kansas bill was a prom inent issue at the Nortb. Upon the assembling of that body a large majority of the House were claimed to be in favor of its repeal. But they did not suc ceed in their object. If, however, it was an unwise measure, got up hy agitators and tricksters to serve selfish and party ends, ought it not to have been repealed. 1 On this | point the Warrentou Convention, if such be the drift aud tendency of their policy, art again estopped; at least their party is; for Bat, since the indications to which 1 have alluded, have furnished ground to appre hend that these and kindred questions will come up before the next Coagreae. I deem it due to yon to say that I feel no dispoaition to shrink from the responsibility of meeting them. Whatever may have been my wish eg for repose, however congenial to my fee lings and health, quiet and rest might be, 1 have no inclination voluntarily to quit the field of action, so long as the fight lasts on this measure. I shall, if tbe people so will it, stand by it to the end, let that be what it may. As to my couiae, if electid, I have no new pledge or promise to make. The form in which this question will present itself most probably in the next Congress, will not be on a repeal of tbe measure; that idea is abandoned. It will be upon the point,wheth er its principles shall be truly and faith fully carried into effect. It will he uy ob ject to the utmost extent of my power, to sec to it that this is done; not only in Kan sas, but in every ether Territory of the United States. These principles were set forth in tbe Cincinnati Platform of last year, in the following words: •Resolved, That we recognise the right of tbe people of all the Territories, including Kansas and Nebraska, acting through the legally and fairly expressed will of a ma jority of actual residents, and whenever the number of their inhabitants justifies it, to form a Constitution with or without domes tic slavery, and bo admitted into the Union upon terms of perfect equality with other States.’ This resolution not only embodied the principles upon tho Kansas bill founded, (thereby fully endorsing them) hut it pro claims them ns the permanent rnu settled future policy of the general government to wards all the Territories so far as the ac tion of that party uttering them, can make it. It rests upon the basis of removing tbe question of slavery in the Territories from the control of the General Government and leaving it to be settled in the proper way and at the proper time, by the people most deeply interested in it. It secures tbe right of perfect equality between tbe citizens of all the States in the Union in the enjoyment of the public domain as long as the Terri torial status continnes. Since 1820, an ef fort has been made by tbe anti slavery men at tbe North to use the power of the General Government against Southern in stitutions. The first point of attack was the Territories. Their policy was to hedge them in, hem up, bind round, end by restriction to prevent tbe Sonth from any further growth and expansion. That this might ul timately weaken, cripple, and perhaps de stroy tbe institution in the States was the main object. On tho part of the South, it was justly insisted that her right of expan sion was equal to that of tbe North. This r’ght, after a struggle for years, was first secured in 1850, after the defeat of the Wil- rnot Proviso, or the Congressional restric tive policy. The Kansas bill did but follow up, and carry ont tbe policy of 1850—whiie the resolution just quoted adopts and looks to the establishment of this as the future meat. We emphatically hold tbe levor that wields the destiny of modern civilization in iu widest scope and comprehension; and all we have to do ie to realize the consciousness right to make their Constitution ‘in their own wav,’ ’acting’ (ir the language of the resolution before quoi*J.) ‘through 1 the legally and fairly t-xpressed tvi’l of of our power, and be resolved lo maintain ‘ a tiinjonty of the actual residents.’ it. | Now, the Convention which has been la this connection, it may not he amiss or elected lo form a Constitution there, has out of place, to notice an article in one of been chosen under‘the legally aud fairly our own journals of a recent date. The Col evpiessed will of a majority of the actu- nmbns Enquirer, in * its issue of the 12th May last, says: •From the commencement of the govern ment until the present period, the South comparatively, has been growing small by population, and literatuie, and iu ail the al residents’ as fur as it could be ascer tained by law. 1 Iiis uo one cat? gaiu$nv.
